  1. My TOP TIPS (especially Survival Mode )β€”β€”->
    β€”-> Codsworth is available as a companion without first needing to free Preston. Simply enter Concord far enough that Preston and the Raiders start fighting, return to Sanctuary, and he can be hired. Taking him along to free Preston can give some affinity boosts. Codsworth will give you a Purified Water on a continual basis just by talking with him, making him a solid companion for Survival Players.
    β€”-> Need Caps? Stop at nearby Abernathy Farm, under the Power Pylon. Grab the 9 Melons, then speak with the daughter Lucy. Keep picking the top dialogue choice about caps as currency. This will trigger an Easy speech check, and she will offer to buy Melons for 5 caps instead of 3. She can buy every Melon you have, on an ongoing basis, which can be lucrative if you turn Sanctuary into a Melon farm. However, if you make the Farm a settlement, she stops buying them.
    β€”-> Survival Players, besides planting Tato, Mutfruit and Corn for Adhesive, plant Razorgrain. Cook 1 Razorgrain /1 Dirty Water to make rad-free Noodle Cups. They lower thirst one level, hunger half a level, yet weighs the same as Water! Check wandering vendor Trashcan Carla and Trudy at Drumlin Diner, South of Concord. Or find randomly as loot.
    β€”-> Weapon and Armor modifications can be stripped and swapped onto your better gear. You can remove armor mods for free, but you will have to build a new gun mod from components. Even without Gun Nut, you can build the base level gun mod, which will put the previously attached modification into your inventory, and put onto your new hotness.
    β€”-> Survival Players should build 15 more water supply than they have settlers, minimum. This will accumulate extra water from the Workshop every day, so take it out store it separately in another container. New Purified Water will be added every day if there’s little to no water already in the workshop. If you build a large enough water purification operation, a huge amount can get added daily. Use this for your travels, or stockpile, and sell the surplus.
    β€”-> Survival Mode features Diseases, acquired numerous ways. You can take Antibiotics, visit a Doctor, or Wait until they go away eventually. Each disease has different durations, lasting from 2-7 days. The most debilitating are Weakness (receive +20% damage), and Infection (take damage over time, though it won’t kill you, will leave you with a sliver of health). These two diseases take 2.5 days to go away. Find something safe to do, like decorating Sanctuary, or sleep it off. Sleeping causes a disease check, so you might get sick again, but anything is better than Weakness or Infection. Early game, when resources are tight, you might be better off saving Antibiotics just in case for the debilitating diseases, and living with the others until they go away.
    β€”->Want to play Survival Mode, but aren’t sure what starting SPECIAL to use? I’ve found it’s worth going for strong combat skills first, and then flesh out your build.
    Melee Builds, get Rooted (STR9) and Blitz (AGI9) immediately. 9,1,4,3,1,9,1 (Book END).
    VATS Guns, get Penetrator (PER9) and Concentrated Fire (PER10). 1,9,3,3,3,7,2 (Book AGI). You’ll get the Perception Bobblehead when you free Preston, so have a point saved, and put into Concentrated Fire mid-rescue.
    β€”-> Survival Mode players should seriously consider not using Power Armor. Swimming is Survival’s Fast Travel. You’ll get around much faster and safer. Aquaboy/girl perk will save you a ton of time! Without spoiling, the game gives you a quick means of crossing the map as you do the main story, if you dabble with the Brotherhood of Steel.
    β€”-> New Players: Idiot Savant isn’t a good choice for first timers. Enemies scale with you. You need to have good gear to survive, and easy and fast XP can leave you without enough time to explore and find good gear before the bad guys start hitting even harder. You’ll get plenty of levels, faster than you think, even at 1 INT. Growing powerful isn’t only a matter of levels. You’ll be stronger if you have great gear when you pop your next level. Take it easy, don’t rush, go slow, and you’ll be better for it.
    β€”-> Pass every speech check with 11 CHR, 100%! Low CHR builds, don’t fret: assemble a 3-piece CHR set of clothes. Hat/glasses/suit, for +4. Most Alcohol adds +1. Find Daytripper +3. Better yet, craft Grape Mentats at a Chemistry Station +5. There’s other ways, but with these, that’s a +13 buff already.

    Bonus! Your companion will come to your side and stay there if you crouch. And if Dogmeat only carries 25 units, put a bandana, welding goggles or dog armor, and it’ll bump it up to 150!

  2. Radiant quests can reset locations this is great because it reset overworld loot making places like the national training yard a farmsble place for legendary drops and fusion cores

  3. I like survival modes. They add ALOT to games. But. Their carry weight limits can't kindly fuck off. I wanna get the trophies so no mods for me for this lol
    Also if you have the sentinel AI one they don't count as companions apparently. So you can have dog meat and that and still get the lone survivor perk

  4. I feel like the most important tip of all is if you want Codsworth to wear a bowler hat, then DO NOT put him in the robot building workbench. For some reason, it completely removes that ability even if you don’t change anything.

  5. If anyone of you cannot normally play fallout 4, get bored by either stucking to one build, getting bored…I recommend to cheat yourself more or less 8-9 stats of every characteristics and open every/most perks at level one. If you 30+ depressed guy who don't have a time/wish to make several playthroughs , just cheat you way and trust me it will keep you interested for quite a while πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ but try to stuck for one play style for periods of game and keep difficulty at high risk/survival. Don't be depressed, just play πŸ˜‚

  6. Imagine my disappointment when loading up NEXT GEN fallout 4 only to see that I still get stuck performing the mediocre task of walking up to a terminal πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

  7. Very good tip video for previous or new players. I'll add this tip: mods. Some simple mods can improve gameplay like removing godrays and the washed out look, more scrapping of settlement unwanted trash and debris, and cleaning the faces of settlers. Those mods improve the game while not feeling like cheating. However using mods will disable trophies.

  8. You can "loot lock" any Legendary weapon or gear you want.

    First, go to a notorious farming legendary zone like National Guard Training…

    Crank up the difficulty to "very hard" and save before entering the building.

    You will see five ghouls…
    One of them will be 85% of the time a Legendary Ghoul.

    Kill it and see the drop…
    Let's say, for example, you want a Legendary Laser Rifle and he drop a stupid Wounding Walking Cane, reload the save you did before entering the building repeat the process until he drop a Legendary Laser Rifle…

    When he finally drop a Legendary Laser Rifle but you don't like the Legendary Prefix, now you have to "loot lock" the weapon.

    If you go to your saves, you will see an automatic save AFTER you've entered the building.

    Reload THIS particular save everytime you don't like the Legendary prefix of your Legendary Laser Rifle.

    TIPS:
    – Go do this to the National Guard Training when your level is like 15-20! Do NOT go there before level 15 or it's a wrap.

    – When entering the building, press the VATS button (don't let go the VATS button) to scan the area and check for the Legendary Ghoul…
    If he's not there, reload the save you did before entering like i've explained before, it's "faster".

    – If you die while you've loot locked the weapon, do not panic, just reload the save the game automaticaly did after entering the building.

    This "trick" can be done everywhere else…
    My best bet is:
    – National Guard Training.
    – Sewers of Concord (next to the blue Pulosky atomic protection) but you need to be at level 6-10.
    – The Shamrock.
    – The cave of Croup Manor.

    I hope i've explaining it well, my english is not that good, i'm from Belgium.

  9. I do not have internet at my house and cannot afford dlc, this is my problem with games nowadays is that if you don't have the dlc and just the main game you can barely have any fun

  10. On PC, the "e" key works just the same as the Enter key 95% of the time, so no need to move your hand over or off the mouse. The one exception I've found is when confirming an assignment to a settler.

  11. Going into Power-armour (even just the frame) will over write all the bonuses from normal character armour like Fortifying legendary effect [+1 Str & +1 Edr] or Pocketed armour mod.
    Pocketed vs Lighter Build, Pocketed is better as it carries its more weight than it adds. A full set Leather (basic) over-armour modded with Deep Pocketed will yield you +44,7 in carry capacity excluding armour weight. Going in power armour sucks, even if you add Calibrated Shocks on each leg of the armour that if vanilla Fallout 4 you will still carry armours weight.
